Inter Milan fans received unpleasant news earlier today when they found out that Mehdi Taremi sustained an injury. So when could be the next time we see the striker on a football pitch?
The club announced the news on its official website on Thursday afternoon. The note revealed that RMI tests detected a muscle strain in the left thigh.
The statement added that the player will undergo more tests next week, but didn’t offer any estimations over his expected return date.
But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Taremi risks missing a couple of weeks of action.
Nevertheless, the pink newspaper claims the striker is targeting a return ahead of the Serie A season opener against Genoa.
The Italian champions will kick off their defense campaign on August 17 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
In previous days, several accounts have been tipping the Iran international for a starting berth against the Grifone.
The 32-year-old has been the club’s standout performer thus far in pre-season. And with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram returning late from their summer vacations, Taremi was in prime position for a starting berth against Genoa.
Inter Milan Striker Mehdi Taremi Expected To Miss A Couple Of Weeks Of Action
However, this new injury leaves his availability in doubt, even though several sources believe he could make his return to action in due time.
FcInter1908 also expects the player to recover in 10 to 15 days. In this case, he should be available for selection ahead of the season opener.
Sky Sport Italia reports a similar timetable, but the source notes that it hinges on the nature of the injury.
Next week’s medical assessment should shed some some extra light on the situation.
The 32-year-old signed for Inter last month as a free agent after seeing out his contract with Porto.
